If the observer then went into the OPP
p0site hemisphere of Saturn he would
find winter prevailing there, and the
shadow of the great rings would rest
upon the land, covering large portion
of the planet AS he changed his position
the appearances presented would vary.
In some ATTITUDES he would find that con-
tinuous night rested upon the planet, the
sun while rising passing across the sky
and setting, being all the time hidden
behind the rings In other ATTITUDES the
sun would be seen when rising and during
the morning, but would pass behind the
arch of the rings at noon to emerge again
in the afternoon and set, as it had risen,
in full sight In other ATTITUDES, again,
the sun would be hidden behind the rings
in the morning and afternoon, but would
be visible above the centre of their arch
for a little while in the middle of the
day.
Curiously enough, although Saturn is
more than 700 times as large as the earth,
its density is so small that it is only ninety
times as heavy, and the force OF gravity
upon its surface does not vary much
from that upon the earth. 1t follows
that visitor from the earth to Saturn
would find no inconvenience on that
score, and if he met any inhabitants there

Tripoli. North Africa.
There is said to be more than $4,000
Jews in Palestine-about the same number as
returned from the captivity in Babylon, and
more than at any period since the time of
Christ.
The University of the City of New
York has established a chair in comparative
religion" especially as it related to Christian
missions" The missionary spirit is in that
movement.
The Keren Theological Seminary in
Rangoon, Burmah, this year graduated nine
young men, who Immediately enter the minis

students in the seminary.
There are in the United States 1872 ,435
churches. This is one church to every 453 per-
sons, estimating the population at 100000
According to the present membership of the
churches, it Is one church to every 143 mem

1t is stated that during the reign OF
Queen Victoria the Church of England has
built 5000 churches and places of worship.
Seven dioceses have been created, and $405 ,000,
600 subscribed voluntarily in the last twenty
five years for church purposes.
The island of Madagascar has been

in condition to support inhabitants,
would be even more remarkable in
some respects than that from the
planet Their inhabitants so far as the
force of gravitation is concerned, might
be of gigantic stature. But think of living
on a world in the shape Of ring. 1t
used to be very hard for people to believe
that we are living on a world shaped
like a ball. but we have got used to that
idea now But to live on a ring
would be a very different thing. SIP
pose a man stood on the inner edge
of the innermost ring of Saturn.
Then he would behold over his head
the enormous globe of the planet, shin
ing like tremendous moon, while
his own ring world stretched away
on either hand, gradually blending
with distance into two arcs reaching out
to embrace the great planet over
! head. These arcs would not be
visible as shining bodies throughout
their whole extent, because the sunshine
would only illuminate that portion Of
them which was on the opposite side Of
the observer from the sun. At times,
however, one of them might be seen
through most of its extent. Seeing the
ring stretching up the sky, the inhabit
ant of it might travel up its apparent
slope and so arrive at a point which he
had seen from his original position
| shining like another world in the sky.
But all the time the distant part of the
ring would, of course, seem to retreat
from him. though its appearance as to
being Illuminated or dark would vary
with his situation in respect to the sun.
When the globe of Saturn was between
him and the sun, the planet would appear
| over his head as huge black disk,
behind which the sun and large circle
of the sky would be hidden.
From the flat sides of the rings an
observer would see Saturn perpetually
like a huge moon about half risen above
the horizon, but in different phases at
different times. The ring on which he
dwelt would curve away in an endless
circle passing behind the distant planet.
There would be, in fact, an almost end
less series of strange phenomenato sur
prise and delight the visitor to Saturn's
rims. but we must devote the little space
remaining To Us to q brief consideration

thrill the beholder with establishment as
they appear in the field of his telescope.
Here Nature in her sober senses has
exceeded the widest work of the imagi-
nation A world with rings. That such
a thing could exist must have appeared
so utterly improbable, not to say impos-
sble, that if the telescope had not actu-
ally shown it to US in the heavens, no
one would have been bold enough to
imagine it even in fairy tale.
The appearance of the rings as seen
from Saturn depends upon the position
of the observer on the planet, and also
upon which side of the rings, with refer
ence to the observer, the sun is shining
Beyond about 6610 of latitude, north or
south, the rings cannot be seen at all
from the surface of Saturn, and so, of
course, they are forever invisible from
his Polar regions. One would have to go
within about 400 of the planets equator
in order to see the full breadth of the
rings, and then their lower edge would
seem to touch the horizon. Nearer to
the equator than 400, on either side,
the rings would appear as vast
arch spanning the sky, its height
in the heavens increasing as the
observer approached the equator. Right

If the planet Saturn is inhabited it
must be most wonderful and, in some
respects, delightful place of abode. AS
far as our telescopes can reach there is
not visible in all the universe another orb
so marvelously circumstanced as Saturn.
Suspended in the centre of a series of
tremendous concentric rings and possess
ing eight moons, this great planet, with
its astonishing appendage, is sort of
miniature universe. The celebrated rings
are, of course, the most distinguishing
feature of the Saturniau system. Nearly
10000 miles broad and only fifty or at
the most one hundred miles thick, and
suspended around the planet edgewise at
a height, at their innermost edge, of
10000 miles above the equator, they

The Roman Prohibitionists.

In the early ages of Rome women were
prohibited from using wine, and hence their
near relations were allowed to salute them
with a kiss, in order that they might ascer-
tain bv the sense of smell if they had been
drinking it. They were SO fond of it, how
ever, that Romuius, the first king, made a
law that husband might kill his wife for
drinking Fabias, in hisSnnals relates that
a Roman lady was stoned to death by her
own relations for having picked the lock OF
a chest in which were the keys of wine
cellar. Pliny says that judge pronounced
she had drank more wine without her hus-
bands knowledge than was necessary for the
preservation of her health" and that there
fore she should lose the benefit of her dowry.

on the equator one would stand
directly under the sharp edge of the
rings, and that edge would appear as
narrow band crossing the sky directly
overhead. About 250 of latitude
either north or south would be, per-
haps, the best point for visitor to
Saturn to observe the rings from. Then
if the sun was shining on his side OF the
rings, in which case it would be summer
in that hemisphere of Saturn, they would
be seen sweeping in grand, Illuminated
arch across the armament, shedding
flood of soft light, while several OF tile
eight moons belonging to the planet
would be visible at the same time.

The inhabitants Of Saturn's moons,
like those of Jupiter's, would receive no
small amount of light from the great
planet around which their little worlds
revolved. They also would probably be
of huge stature as compared with inhab-
italts of the planet. They would see
shining in their sky both the globe and
the rings of Saturn but as their orbits
do not lie far out of the plane of the
rings they would never see the latter
widely opened but always nearly edge

The SeuaIe Committee Recomm en . Retaliation on Canadian Fisher men.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The report submit ted to the Senate to day by MT. Edmunds on behalf of the committee on foreign relations is 8 very elaborate document and after an ex- concludes as follows:
 In view of all that has taken place the committee thinks It to be the duty of the United States i'll firm and just way to pro test and defend the just rights of the people of the United States, whether fishermen or traders or traders or all, by all such meas ures as may be within our power. The measure the committee proposes to this end rests upon principle universally recognized as right and necessary in the intercourse of nations and it has often been resorted to by many nations. It is recommended that the President of the United States be invested with the power and that it be made his duty whenever be shall be satisfied that unjust, unfair unfriendly conduct is prac- ticed by the British government to our citi zens and their property within the ports of the BriUis domains in North America to deny to the subjects of that government in British North America and thelr property or to any classes such privileges ill the waters and the ports of the United States as he may think proper to name and to suspend in respect of such vessels or classes of vessels, or such property or classes of property of the subjects of such government the right of entering the waters or ports of the United States, so that he shall be able from time to time each emer- gency may arise to preserve the intercourse between the United States and that govern ment ill state of equality. The committee recommends therefore the passage of the bill herewith reported. Ghe committee also rec ommends that the papers, documents aud maps returned be printed. All of which is respectfully submitted. Signed,
